Some voters realize that their livelihoods is not a game. Voting for candidates just to spite the other will affect them also.
Delaware voters know this and voted accordingly. Some voted to spite President Obama, who is trying to help the middle
class. But he is still President and middle class voters who voted for spite will feel the effects of republican obstruction.
West Virginians can't afford to play the Republican game.

Finally people are coming to their senses, we have taking control of the house, 2 years from now we will take the White house. Then this country will finally start to turn around. It is good that Repub have taken majority in the house. We can stop Obama and his reckless, radical liberal policy's. Red is such a pretty color. Oh ya almost forgot T-Shah, LaCrosse Mom, Obama Mama, Dutch Bad Newz, if you are still reading these, its ok to cry into your milk. The repubs and the Tea party are taking the trash out. HAHAHAHAHAH.
